@divegeester saidExactly what the scumbag leader of Turkey is helping them to achieve, hostility between Muslims and non Muslims. They’ve twigged that macron has very big buttons that are easily pushed so why not push them.
Three more people killed in Nice and another one of them decapitated (as was the teacher in Paris last month) in another Islamic assassination.
It’s difficult to understand what these murdering butchers are trying to achieve with all these isolated incidents.
As a secularist I fully support Macrons sentiments but I worry that as a politician, like Erdogan, he will play to the extremis of his electorate.

This is how the Nazi's gained momentum.

@great-king-rat saidA leader shouldn’t really have accessible buttons, not if it means giving the beheaders what they want.
@kevcvs57
A public beheading is a "big button"?
The more you know.

@earl-of-trumps saidThere is rather more to Sharia than execution methods. Most of it is perfectly acceptable. In the UK if a contract contains words such as: "This contract should be governed by Sharia Law." then the courts will accept that, since it is a term in the contract, provided there is no contradiction with English or Scottish Law. The Muslims are perfectly happy with that.
All countries with a semblance of civilization should ban Sharia Law and its practitioners
Insurgents in France might think that they are on some sort of divinely ordained mission, however, in my limited understanding of these matters, they are not permitted this under Islamic Law because France is not an Islamic country and the passages in the Quran which allow such abuses only apply to invading military forces and do not apply externally. Within mainstream Islamic thinking I believe that they have damned themselves.

As for Macron, I’ve never been a fan as I see him as a toady of the EU. But the landscape has changed, is changing, and his europhilic reformations are starting to appear incongruent in country deeply entrenched in traditional socialist economics.
I predict a big change in France at the next elections.
@earl-of-trumps saidI think you are right in principle, but in practice it is already too late for a sweeping ban. Deepthought probably has it right, but what is permissible needs to be razor sharp in clarity and communication, and what isn’t needs to be clearly outlawed.

@shavixmir saidWhen was the last time a “Christian extremist” abducted a person and decapitated them?

@divegeester saidYah... I’m pretty sure the Christian extremists and their tactics get funnelled under different terms, don’t you?
When was the last time a “Christian extremist” abducted a person and decapitated them?
When was the last execution in Ireland’s troubles?
When was the last WASP attack in the US (white kid gunning down blacks on the streets)?
